Homemade Ginger-ale

This has helped soothe my stomach for the past couple of days and is certainly cheaper than store bought. Wish I could say the same for crackers, but I didn’t want to deal with making homemade crackers. Phil gave a very good general idea for how to make the ginger ale (as well as soothing ginger tea) in his last post, but here are some measurements. Increase/decrease at will.

Homemade Ginger-ale

Ingredients:

1 cup peeled and chopped ginger

1 cup water

3/4 cup sugar

lemon zest from a lemon (I just peel the skin with a vegetable peeler and avoid the pith)
